Moving industrial machinery in New York City is a different job than moving it in a warehouse yard. The blocks are tight, the sidewalks are narrow, and the placement window is short. Trinchese Boom Service handles heavy equipment moving across NYC with our own knuckle-boom cranes and certified operators — lifting, swinging, and setting equipment exactly where it needs to go.
Equipment We Move
- Generators, transformers, and switchgear
- HVAC units, chillers, condensers, and cooling towers
- CNC machines, presses, and industrial tooling
- Compressors, boilers, and pump packages
- Safes, vaults, and precision instruments
- Rooftop and mechanical-room equipment swaps
Why Knuckle-Boom Cranes Win in NYC
A knuckle-boom crane articulates around obstacles — parapet walls, façades, scaffolding, tree canopies — the way a traditional straight-boom crane can't. That means less street closure, fewer neighbor complaints, and a safer set for the operator and crew. For machinery relocations into rear yards, courtyards, or rooftops, it's usually the right tool for the pick.
Coordinated With Your Move Crew
We work alongside your riggers, millwrights, and GC. You handle the disconnect, skidding, and reconnect; we handle the lift, the swing, and the set — cleanly, on the DOT window, with the right insurance in place.
Heavy Equipment Moving FAQ
- The lift and set are ours. Interior skidding, rolling, and final placement inside a mechanical room are typically the millwright's scope; we coordinate closely with them.
- Our Fassi 1950 knuckle-boom fleet handles most NYC machinery moves — generators, HVAC packages, transformers. Send weight and dimensions and we'll size the pick.
- Yes — knuckle-boom cranes articulate over parapets and around obstacles, which is exactly why NYC machinery moves usually call for them.
- Yes. Every lift goes out as crane + certified operator + rigger together. We do not rent bare cranes.
